Plasma-based accelerators that impart energy gain as high as several GeV to electrons or
positrons within a few centimeters have engendered a new class of diagnostic techniques …

A laser system producing controllable and stable pulses with high power and ultrashort
duration at high repetition rate is a key component of a high energy laser-plasma accelerator …

Laser-driven ion beams have gained considerable attention for their potential use in
multidisciplinary research and technology. Preclinical studies into their radiobiological …

Galaxy clusters have the potential to accelerate cosmic rays (CRs) to ultrahigh energies via
accretion shocks or embedded CR acceleration sites. The CRs with energies below the …

We study a method to generate collimated γ-ray/hard X-ray flash with high energy
conversion efficiency and high peak brilliance by shooting a double-layer target with a …

The new short focal length experimental beamline at the BELLA PW, called iP2, was
commissioned up to 17 J laser pulse energy, corresponding to a peak intensity of 1.2× 10 21 …

The BELLA Center has been developing the physics and technology of advanced laser
plasma accelerators and their applications. This paper introduces experimental R&D work of …

We report on the calibration methods implemented for the Turbo-ICT and the BCM-RF. They
allow to achieve percent-level accuracy for charge and current measurements. Starting from …

Isomers, ubiquitous populations of relatively long-lived nuclear excited states, play a crucial
role in nuclear physics. However, isomers with half-life times of several seconds or less …

The charge contained in an electron bunch is one of the most important parameters in
accelerator physics. Several techniques to measure the electron bunch charge exist …
